In a recent article from Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic, Ken stated that “clearing salary for a free agent such as left-hander Wade Miley could be the next step for the Brewers”.
Two corresponding moves that Rosenthal hinted at would be trading either first baseman Eric Thames who is due $6 million in 2019 with a $1 million buy-out, or reliever Matt Albers who will earn $2.5 million next season.
Why bring Miley back?
The Milwaukee Brewers already appear to have a lot of potential options when it comes to their starting pitching but Miley will be able to provide a veteran presence in the rotation.
